I awoke this morning to the call of a bird that sounded like the DA DA DA DUM from Beethoven's 5th Symphony. Granted, there were a couple more DAs in there and the DUM was flat, but the DAs were right in tune. Any clue as to the identity of this classical-era songster?

Similar, but the DAs were closer together and more numerous.

In winter, this species migrates to the southern and eastern United States. It stays year round in the Atlantic provinces of Canada. This bird is a rare vagrant to western Europe. Alongside some other species such as the cardinal, dark-eyed junco, song sparrow and chickadees, this species ranks among the most abundant native birds during winter in eastern North America. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/White-throated_sparrow
